Along with his hell-raising ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga, World War Z, TV’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), and Irish vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun, This is England, TV’s “Emmerdale”), Jesse embarks on a wild, dark journey of discovery and revenge unlike any other.

The AMC drama series, produced by Sony Pictures Television, is based on the graphic novels by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. It was developed for television by Sam Catlin (TV’s “Breaking Bad”), Seth Rogen (Superbad, This is the End, Neighbors), and Evan Goldberg (Superbad, This is the End, Neighbors), who also serve as executive producers along with James Weaver (This is the End, Neighbors), Neal H. Moritz (Furious 7), Ori Marmur (R.I.P.D.), Vivian Cannon (TV’s “The Big C”), Ken F. Levin (The Scribbler) and Jason Netter (Wanted). The season finale will air on July 31.
